February 17, 2023 at 9:52 pmI am so saddened to hear of Michele’s passing. Michele and I took every class together at Wilkes. We had some good times together. I was so happy when I got my teaching position at WA. We would then be teaching together. Rest in peace, my friend!

I am so sorry to hear about the passing away of Michele. She went through so much and was coming along but the bad guy won. I’m sure she is resting peacefully and not running to hospitals and receiving treatment. Please accept my sincere condolence.
